I am sort of having a conflict with my Fh about our 'mini moon'. My fh is a teacher so we are going away for a few days and then going away to Tahiti in the summer. Well, my FMIL is going on the same cruise a year before, so I am like, I do not want to know too much about the trip, let's go to a travel agent and hear about it first hand, then his brother is spending the weekend where we wanted to go for the 'mini moon'. I always thought of our honeymoon and mini moon as a place that no one else went to before us, I am not trying to be a brat or anything, but am I out of place to feel this way???

Re: Opinions needed.. am I wrong?
I understand how you feel, but I don't think it's a big deal. The honeymoon (and mini moon) are going to be special because you'll pick somewhere that neither of YOU have ever been before. You'll experience it together for the first time. The two of you will share the memories and the happy times. I dont think it matters at all if people you know have gone there. Of course, it would be a different story if your FI was going to one of the locations without you before the honeymoon.

Well, to make it more special to the 2 of you, can't you go to a different part of the island or take a different name cruise, that may take another route or something. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well. lol But, I hope you get my idea. O, and by the way, I don't think you're being a brat. I would feel the same way.

I don't think you are being a brat at all. This is your honeymoon and a special event in your life. I know if it hard for me to find that special vacation that I or my parents have not already taken so I have resolved myself to doing on a trip that might not be 'new' to me but we will be doing special things of some sort that will personalize it and make it special in our own way. Which cruise were you thinking of? Remember most places try to go out of their way to make a honeymoon special. But most likely the two of you will be so wrapped up in each other the idea that someone else was there first will be the last thing on your mind I hope!

Rob-luvs-Me is sooo right. I would add that unless FBIL and FMIL will be in these locations at the same time as you and your hubby I wouldn't stress it at all. That would irk me if mine were planning on being there at the same time as us.
You will be so involved with each other you won't be thinking about what the others did in the same places.
